Micro 100 FG-250-062-150X Face Grooving Tool Solid Carbide

Product Description

The MICRO 100 FG-250-062-150X is a solid carbide face grooving tool designed for internal face grooving operations on lathes and turning centers. It cuts grooves with a 0.062 inch width at a 0.150 inch projection, making it well suited for producing precise radial grooves on the face of bored or turned workpieces. With a 1/4 inch shank diameter and an overall length of 2.5 inches, this tool fits standard toolholders used in production and job-shop turning applications. Machinists and toolroom professionals install and use this tool for close-tolerance face grooving where carbide rigidity and edge retention are required.

This face grooving tool is used in CNC and manual turning operations where internal face grooves are required, such as snap ring grooves, seal grooves, and undercuts on bored surfaces. The minimum hole diameter of 0.250 inches allows it to work in small-bore applications. A maximum hole depth of 1.0 inch defines the reach capability for typical production turning scenarios. It is appropriate for ferrous and non-ferrous materials in both prototype and production environments.

Key Features

• Solid carbide construction provides rigidity and edge retention during face grooving
• 0.062 inch groove width for precise, narrow face groove profiles
• 0.150 inch projection supports controlled depth of cut at the face
• 1/4 inch shank diameter fits standard toolholders and boring bar setups
• Minimum hole diameter of 0.250 inches enables use in small-bore workpieces
• 2.5 inch overall length balances reach with tool rigidity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling option for 1/4 inch shank face grooving applications on CNC and manual lathes requiring a 0.062 inch groove width and up to 1.0 inch hole depth.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolroom technicians. The tool shank should be seated securely in the toolholder or turret with appropriate set screw torque per the machine manufacturer guidelines. Ensure the machine spindle is fully stopped and the machine is in a safe, locked-out state before installing or removing tooling. Do not exceed the rated maximum hole depth or projection to avoid tool deflection or breakage.
